WILD UNCONTROLLABLE hair! Tangles! There is probably nothing worse than a bad hair day with curls. Curls are hard to maintain. Impossible to control, and yet with the best of care, there is nothing quite like curls.
Since time immemorial, there has been something about curls that has caught the fancy of the human mind. Research shows that Greek women as far back as 1500-650 BC wore their hair in corkscrew curls.
Through history, women were shown sporting curls of different styles. It is evident from these images that curls were in fashion many times during the history of the human race. In some cultures, there was even a reason for this preference for curls. They considered the long hair of a woman so provocative that they believed it had to be subdued in braids or curls. In other cultures, curls were a symbol of elegance, a reflection of feminine beauty.
This allusion to curls being associated with beauty is found in many masterpieces of both literature and art. In literature, there is many a reference to the correlation between curls and beauty. This is often supported by a reference to some poor girl whose hair just would not curl!
Through the 1800s, curls continued to be a popular style of hairdressing. During the 1870s, hairstyles included curls of various sorts. For the evening, a long sausage curl, or curls were often worn trailing over one shoulder. The "titus" hairstyle became popular from the 1880s. This hairstyle involved cutting the hair very close around the head. The hair was then curled, and styled with various ornaments including flowers. But through the years with all the preference for curls, no single product has ever been created to care for and manage them.
For centuries, people have envied and longed for natural curls. One used remedies like milk and rose water to wash their tresses with to discipline the curls. Milk has long been used as a beauty aid for skin and hair. History shows a number of tales relating to the use of milk. Today it comes to the aid of those with curls.
Now, new international quality products in the market can bring respite to those who battle with curls everyday. Some of these products contain milk proteins that not only help manage the curls much better but also keep the hair looking healthy and beautiful.
Perhaps the time is not far now that one can look at curls in the mirror and not shudder at the thought of managing them and make that five minutes before the mirror running a comb through the hair before you rush out to face the world a pleasure. For after all, there is something about curls.
